Cotton, Concrete
Better Than Steel
Austin, Texas.—Cotton may
assist the building industry in
making available a greater
supply of steel for defense
purposes, the National Cotton
Council and Cotton-Textile In-
stitute report.
The Council-Institute said
that an engineer at Austin has
found that cotton line rein-
forces concrete better than
steel. Cotton has 20 per cent
greater tensile strength than
structural steel and 200
pounds of cotton in a concrete
beam replaces 1200 pounds of
steel.
Inc fcrHis oi the Sheiby-
jPanola Soil Conservation Dis-;
j trict today were compared ;
with industrial plants manu- j
facturing vital defense mate- j
rials by Mr. Lem Davis, dis- j
trict chairman, who declared:
“Every farm must be made
an efficient defense plant if
we are to attain the 1942 Food
For Freedom goals for more
dairy products, increased
slaughter of beef, more eggs,
more vegetables, and more of
the other foods essential to the
United States and the other
nations fighting aggression.
Mr. Davis explained that
farms must be prepared for in-
creased production just as a
manufacturing plant must be
expanded and retooled to
speed up production of air-
planes, tanks, shells, ships,
and thousands of other pro-
duct^ visits) to the nation’s
welfare.
"The most important tool in
the farmer’s defense plant is
his soil,” the district chairman
declared. “Fortunately, na-
tional defense needs and soil
conservation needs are identi-
cal. The farmer, in doing a
patriotic duty by producing
the necessary foods and fibers,
can do so more effectively and
more profitably through the
use of soil and moisture con-
serving practices. At the same
time he is increasing the value
of his land.”
"During the winter months
there are many things the
farmer can do to ‘re-tool’ his
farm and to place its opera-
tion upon a more efficient
basis,” the supervisor said.
Among his suggestions for
preparing the farm to meet
the Food For Freedom goals
were to:
1. Grow winter grains after
clean-tilled crops.
2. Sow grasses and legumes
in grain for increasing cover
and late summer hay.
3. Permit a heavy crop
residue to remain for cover.
4. Protect crop residues
from fire and grazing.
5. Improve the cropping
system by inclusion of grains,
grasses and legumes.
6. Use rotations which per-
mit established grass or le-
gumes to remain for two or
more years.
7. Use rotations which in-
Demand for Texas cement
increased during November,
the University of Texas Bu-
reau Research indicates. Com-
pared with November, 1940,
stocks on hand fell 15.5 per
cent, while shipments increas-
ed 51 per cent Production was
stepped up 20.2 per cent.

elude soil building crops.
8. Utilize all manure pi
dueed on the farm.
9. Improve old pastures
with lime, fertilizer, discing
and seeding.
10. Use supplemental pas-
tures in connection with native
pastures and feed supplies.
11. Fence field and pasture
boundaries to control the
movement of livestock.
12. Build up and maintain
feed reserves to protect native
grass pastures.
13. Utilize as much hay,
pasture and ensilage as possi-
ble to reduce the need for
clean-tilled crops.
14. Remove undesirable
shrub and weed species from
pasture land.
15 Protect springs and
stock water with fences.
16. Fence woodland for
protection against grazing.
17. Refrain from burning
brush heaps in woodland.
18. Practice fire prevention
and suppression for pasture,
woodland, and wildlife areas.
19. Provide habitats which
supply food and cover for
wildlife.
“Any farmer in the district
can install these practices
without technical assistance,”
Mr. Davis declared. He added
that technicians of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture
Soil Conservation Service are
assisting farmers to develop
conservation plans for entire
farms as fast as they can, but
they cannot reach all the
farms this year.
“Such plans not only in-
clude the above practices but
also include terracing, devel-
opment of stock ponds and
other items that require the
services of trained engineers
and soil technicians,” he said.

How Are YOUR
Resolutions
holding out?
By this time, a lot of the resolutions that were
so shining bright on New Year's Day are bad-
ly bent or broken.
Maybe your resolutions were too lofty to
allow for human frailties. We'd like to sug-
gest another resolution that is both easy and
profitable to keep.
It's just this: Read the advertisements reg-
ularly.
Sounds childishly simple, doesn’t it? Eut it
makes sense when you Mop to think about it.
You have a certain amount of money to
spend for all the things your family needs. It’s
up to you to get the moat out of it And the
advertising pages of this paper can help you.
Here merchants and manufacturers adver-
tise their best values, their lowest prices.
They know they can build business only by
giving you satisfaction. You know you can
depend upon die things they advertise. it
works both ways.
Watch for "specials,” for seasonal sales,
for news of new foods and new conveniences.
You'll learn the best time to buy winter coat
or bathing suits. You’ll learn prices, styles,
brands. You’ll shop without wasting time or
steps. And you’ll live a lot more comfortably.
